位于迪拜杰贝尔·阿里(Jebel Ali)的Al Maktoum国际机场是目前正在建设中最大的绿地机场项目。到2013年,与世界其他任何其他货物机场相比,它预计将处理更多的货物(每年1200万吨)。

该机场的五个2.8英里长的跑道中的第一个于2010年6月开放,并且已经完成了16个货运航站楼中的第一个。

Expected to open next year, a passenger terminal capable of handling seven million passengers annually is now complete and undergoing testing. Two additional passenger terminals are in the design stage.

Three cargo carriers are now operating at the airport, with passenger flights expected to begin later this year.

The project's general contractor is a joint venture comprising Dubai's Arabtec Construction and Malaysia's WCT Engineering. The estimated construction cost is $10 billion.

Al Maktoum is part of a larger development, Dubai World Central, a logistics hub with multimodal connectivity to a container port that will enable sea-to-air cargo shipments in less than one hour.
